Around 11,685 people live in Jacó, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:29 and sunset at 05:53 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.63, -84.60) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jacó.
